Amazon AWS has partnered with Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/blog/the-partnership-amazon-sagemaker-and-hugging-face https://huggingface.co/blog/the-partnership-amazon-sagemaker.... Microsoft Azure has OpenAI. Google has their own models for their own cloud, as does Facebook. (this makes me wonder what Apple's going to do)

make a phone bezel 23% thiner. making the dynamic island 15% wider. and call it the most advanced iPhone ever sold in stores and add another $15B of revenue growth

  You joke, but Siri could definitely benefit from the integration of a competent large language model. I have no idea what Apple's AI strategy is. Maybe they should get behind models that run locally and find an opportunity there.

    I'm not convinced that going from "sorry, I don't understand" to confidently-asserted answers that seem like they're correct but are absolutely incorrect a high percentage of the time is an improvement.

I wonder if Google will seize the opportunity to leverage their inhouse AI expertise to outmaneuver the competition. In theory having inhouse AI should mean they can more quickly iterate ideas, unless they truly are the corporate wasteland people believe them to be.

  The problem with Google is no one is going to build their house on Google's land because any product that doesn't make Google a super-mega-ultra-decacorn gets shut down after 18 months. Why would someone rely on Google when everything else is either better or good enough.

Apple has John Giannandrea who was previously in charge of Search and AI at Google. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Giannandrea https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Giannandrea Apple has a tendency to keep things close to the vest, but I am sure they have a plan. If you look at the M1 and M2, they have insane memory bandwidth that can be quite useful for running large ml models. It would be interesting if Apple released models that can locally on your Mac or iPhone and bypass the whole only run these models in the cloud model of the other companies.
